Answer 6

I am really c**p at saving - so I actually start buying stuff round about now......

I finish work early today and I've just been paid so I am going to a local retail park and I'm going to buy my lil girls Crimbo Clothes - I will then start the prezzies as I go on bit by bit....

I love shopping for Christmas stuff - I get a real buzz from it!

Answer 7

Nope, I started shopping last week instead!! I like to plan ahead, I'd rather buy little and often in the run up instead. Saves soooo much stress. I buy cards and wrapping paper in January too. :)

Answer 8

I never save for Christmas, I get what I can in the days before Christmas and everyone gets what they get and that's it.

I love Christmas when all the shops have shut.  This is a time for families not a time to fill all the pockets of those who are off to the Caribbean as soon as Christmas is over.

I loathe all the Christmas muzac in the shops and stores,  Commercialism at it's very worst.  And it saddens me to think of all the people who have amassed a pile of debt just to make it look good.

Sorry but it's only August, I may change my mind in mid December!!  lol

Edit.  Haz. You'll be melting on Tues. when it's 'big school' day.  xx
